Ultraviolet (UV) Coatings: How Do They Protect Your Eyes?

When you go to the park, beach, or an outdoor venue, do you wear a hat or apply suntan lotion to protect your skin from the sun? The fact of the matter is, whatever the weather conditions, ultraviolet (UV) sunlight is continuously making its way through to your eyes.

With this in mind, your eyes need to be protected!
